Errata Document A. This document details the limitations of the cascading option of the AD73360 due to a bug in the current silicon.
B. Analog Devices Inc. is committed, through future silicon revisions to continuously improve silicon functionality.
Analog Devices Inc. will use its best endeavors to ensure that these future silicon revisions remain compatible with your
present software/systems implementing the recommended work-arounds outlined in this document.
Background The AD73360 has the option of being cascaded allowing additional analog input channels to be easily be added as required. Due to a bug in the present silicon there are limitations on how many devices can be cascaded together and is
also dependent on the sample rate and serial clock rate used.
Issue Description When a number of AD73360s are cascaded together they each output ADC channel data in a time-division multiplexed
(TDM) format. For a cascade of N devices with all channels enabled the output sequence read by a DSP or Micro-controller would be A

…, Device N - Channel 6, Device N-1 - Channel6 …, Device 1 - Channel 6 As each device is programmed with the number of devices in the cascade it should therefore allow sufficient SCLKs for
all other devices to transmit the ADC result of one channel before starting to transmit the next. For example in a cascade
of two devices, Device 1 will transmit its Channel 1 result to Device 2 in 16 SCLK cycles. At the same time Device 2 is
transmitting its Channel 1 result to the DSP or Microcontroller. Device 1 will then allow 16 SCLKs, when it does not …
